Theatre Ghost

Located on the University of Northern Iowa campus, in Ceder Falls,Iowa.

The ghost not associated so much with a building, but with a organization.

Zelda is the UNI theatre ghost. She is what they call a good ghost and has been known to show up in the wings at odd times, "just to keep the actors on their toes." She showed up for the first time in the original building "Lang Hall" and when the theatre moved to their new building, in 1978, she moved with them and became even more active in the new building. The most well-known episode of Zelda, takes place in 1978 at a almost sold out performance. Somehow an electrical cable unhooked itself in the middle of the show, and Zelda guided the cable to the only open seat in the house. There have also been several sightings of Zelda. They say that she appears when all the lights are shut off, that she yells insults, opens and closes doors, plays the piano, and also sounds like a baby crying.
